<p>So, what's the story behind the t-prefix on most of the channels?</p>

<p>Thanks! So, what's the difference between a team and a working group? :)</p>

<p>Ah, I see, working groups are inside teams</p>

<p>working groups can also be standalone (like wg-embedded, wg-cli...)</p>

<p>the difference is that working groups (usually) don't have any membership requirements and are focused on a specific issue</p>

<p>while teams have actual decision power over a part of the rust project and usually more strict membership requirements</p>
